QUESTION: FLASHLIGHT IS DIM WITH 18650 BATTERY BUT IF THE FLASHLIGHT IS POSITIONED A CERTAIN WAY IT WORKS. IS THIS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE PLASTIC CASE ON IT?
• Mine did that. took it apart and put vaseline on all the connections and it works great
• I think that if you use the plastic sleeve when using the rechargeable battery for the large flashlight, you will have no problem. I initially had forgotten the plastic sleeve and it did not work. Turned on and worked perfectly as soon as I used the sleeve per instructions.
• Use the plastic sleeve. It is there to help keep the battery from rattling around inside the flashlight's casing. What you don't want to do is damage the skin of the lithium battery. A damaged skin could make it dangerous to charge... as in, a leak could result in a fire while charging or even cause the battery to explode. Use the plastic sleeve, just in case. These companies would not not include it if they didn't have to. A lot of these companies include a cheap battery. Don't believe the 3600 mAh claims. From my research it seems as though the best quality cores for these 18650 batteries come from Japanese makers such as Panasonic. Then the retailer elects whether or not to put a protector chip (the button at the tip) on the end before they put their name brand skin on the battery. These Japanese cores seem to max out at 3400 mAh. I now only buy the batteries that have Panasonic cores and a protector chip (which helps keep the battery from overcharging, or charging or discharging too fast). I have not had any issues at all with these, and I have 8 of them, and a good charger. Probably too much info you didn't need, but I hope it helps!
• It would help if the manufacturer would say somewhere not to throw the plastic case away and that it isn't just for shipping. I didn't keep mine. Why would I? Batteries don't normally have plastic cases.
• I don't use the plastic sleeve check the charge on your battery. Sorry I don't have a better answer

QUESTION: IS THE FLASHLIGHT BRIGHTER WITH THREE AAA BATTERIES OR WITH THE LITHIUM ION 18650 BATTERY?
• Have only used the rechargeable batteries they work awesome
• not sure, it came with the rechargeable and it had worked great. i guess you could use the aaa batteries as a back up in case the other ran out of juice while using it.
• It's the same either way.
• It is about the same.
• You have the option of both. The rechargeable battery comes with a sleeve that acts like a spacer to fit it in the flashlight.
• I ONLY USED THE LITHIUMS,,, SO CANT HELP YOU,, SORRY
#Outlite_A100
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE BATTERY LIFE?
• One of the best mini flashlight I've ever seen. Rechargeable battery doesn't last very long but that's to be expected from a rechargeable. I bought a few spare rechargeable batteries so problem solved.
• I'm not sure, but I can tell you that I still haven't had to recharge. I've had it for about three months and use it occasionally. It's a great light.
• Like any Lithium ion rechargeable I believe there lifetime is around 5years. No the one that comes with the Outlite work for two to 4days between recharging with light to medium use.
• Depends on use. It will take (3)AAA batteries. I have charged battery once since ive had it.
• I've owned this light for a few months now. It has been used a few times and still burns bright. Average use time about 30 minutes. Decent product.
• Thus far, I haven't used it enough to test the battery life. It is bright and easy to use and worth the cost. Sorry couldn't be more responsive to your question.
• You'll never get a straight answer to this question. Because the answer is too variable. It all depends on the battery. The one that comes with the light sucks. A much better (protected) battery from Olight, or Orbtronic, or Nitecore, or Panasonic will last a heck of a lot longer! Plus, it all depends what mode you use and for how long. Decent flashlights come with a user manual that lists average battery life depending on mode. Cheap lights like this haven't been pre-tested and don't come with any user information. Basically...running on HIGH, expect the included battery to run LESS than 45 minutes. Does that answer your question?
• about 100,000 hours or more.also has a port for 3 triple aaa batteries if you choose to use them instead.
#900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: HOW DO YOU SELECT THE DIFFERENT MODES
• There is a colored button on the endpiece that you press fully to turn the light on and off. To scroll through the modes, you press the same button, but only lightly, not fully depressed, but only part way down, and the modes will change with each LIGHT press.
• Just slide the front bezel in or out to adjust the beam
• Push the button quickly a couple of times. This is a great little flashlight.
• Press the button "half way" down and it toggles the different modes. If it clicks, you've pressed too far.
#Outlite_A100_Review
QUESTION: DAY 2, 18650 BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED AND IT SEEMS ALOT LESS BRIGHTER THAN DAY 1. ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS? IS THIS ELEMENT BURNING OUT?
• It's an LED...theoretically it doesn't burn out. What you need to realize is that the battery is very cheap. The flashlight is also not current-controlled. This means that as the battery voltage drops, the light output dims. Chances are, it's due to the battery. My advise is to buy a protected 18650 battery. It will cost you around $20. When buying a reliable brand, you need to look for Nitecore, Efest, Olight, Panasonic, or Orbtronic. The charger is also cheap, and could possibly be malfunctioning. Checking the voltage of the battery after it's charged is the only way to verify the problem. If you're going to be using 18650 batteries, you should own a digital multimeter...just for this purpose! Aside from that, the only other thing to try, is to use 3 AAA's.
• I have not noticed any problem like what is being stated here!!
• I've been through a number of charge cycles and not experienced your symptom.
• mine works great still after 6 weeks, i have one in my car and although i do not use it often still lights up bright even after freezing temps, i carry one other with me at all times and still is as bright as day one, still havent recharged any of them, first click should be the brightest, it might be defective or maybe didnt get a full charge.
• yea my was fully charged it not that brighter at all
• I haven't had that issue yet. I charged mine twice so far..
#Outlite_A100_900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: HOW LONG DO YOU CHARGE THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• Takes a few hours, depending on you charger. Some are faster. Also depends on the battery. Some have more capacity-longer to charge. Mine charge in 2 to 3 hours.
• the first time about 12 hours to ensure they had a good charge,, after that only about 6-8 hours gave them a full charge,,
• about three hours
• First time all night after that 4to 6 hr
• I usually let them charge over night, they last a long time but start going dim after a few days of regular use.
#Outlite_A100
QUESTION: HELLO IS IT REALLY 900 LUMENS, AND YOU CAN USE AAA BATTERY THROW AWAY KIND. THANK YOU ALL.
• It's bright. never used disposable batteries
• Hi Scott, the flashlight is really 900 lumens and yes it does take throw away aaa batteries as well as the rechargeable lithium battery that comes with it.
• Yes on both counts.
• I don't know where they got their 900 lumen rating from but it does not compare to my 600 lumen flash light that I paid alot more money for, but with that said it does come with a rechargeable Lith battery and charger and a holder so you can install AAA batteries in it and the price is good, the on off button is way better that some of the other flash lights that you have to cycle through every level just to use it on high and the focus beam feature works good too
• I don't know about the 900 Lumens but as a professional driver I am extremely happy with the brightness. It comes with a 3 x AAA Batery cartridge.
• I'm not sure if it is because it doesn't work and yes you can use 3 aaa batteries also.
• Do not know exact lumens. It does come with a rechargeable battey and charger kit. I am happy with it.
• yes bright and has rechargeable battery as well as aaa battery option it takes 3 aaa... great lightgood quality with sos feature as well as strobe or blinking also very wide to pinpoint zoom
• When it gets this bright I don't know for sure on Lumens but I know it is bright and yes, u can use AAA batteries in it to.
#900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE TUBE DIAMETER? CAN IT BE MOUNTED ON A AR WITH THE USE OF A 1" RAIL MOUNT?
• The tube diameter is 1" (2.5cm)
• The tube is exactly 1" and about in the middle there are flat indentations of about 1/16th" on either side. I don't have an AR but I should think if your mount will hold one inch stuff then it will hold this. It is an OUTLITE XML-T6 supposed to put out 2000 lumen with steady on, dim, strobe and SOS.
• First, bulb end or body end? Depends on your rifle's adapter requirements.
#Outlite_A100_Review
QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL THE MODES ON EACH ENGAGEMENT, OR WILL IT COME UP IN THE LAST MODE USED? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO MOTOR THRU THESE MODES.
• not sure what modes you are talking about? very simple operation; off/on + several levels of zoom; very nice flashlight; bought one for every member of my family
• Last Mode used.
• I just went in to try it so I could answer honestly, I like it because it starts back at the brightest setting when you turn it off, then on. It has the momentary cycling modes. I tried several times from strobe and sos mode and after turning off, then turning on, each time it started at the brightest setting, which I like very much...Hope that helps. BTW, the zoom works very well, in and out, smooth motion and easy to do with your fingers while your holding it one handed. I am very happy with this light.
• I believe it resets each time, at least it does for me.
• CHEAP flashlights (such as this) do NOT have mode memory. Buy a GOOD brand, and every model will have mode memory. Plus, the flashing modes (strobe/SOS) are often hidden, so you NEVER need to even see them unless you need to. You get what you pay for!!! See reviews of the lights I recommend at http://lightsngear.com
• When I turn it off then back on immediately it acts as if I had only depressed the button half way. When I turn it off and wait 5 seconds then it restarts in steady-high power mode. Be patient.

QUESTION: DOES THE FLASH LIGHT COME WITH 18650 BATTERY?
• Yes
• yes; excellent flashlight; bought one for each of my kids
• Yes. Have bought 3: one for me and one for each of my kids.
• Yes
• It does come with a battery Not sure which kind
• Yes but is does gets hot
• Yes
• Yes it does, but this is very important....THE BATTERY IS NOT PROTECTED AGAINST OVER-DISCHARGE!! It is also much WEAKER than it states. You are advised to ONLY use this battery as a spare, and buy a reliable PROTECTED 18650 battery.
#Outlite_A100
QUESTION: WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE PLASTIC BATTERY HOLDER
• HI, KEEPS OUT MOISTURE ON BATTERY.
• the blank sleeve is to keep the rechargeable li-ion battery centralized and takes up slop making it a snug fit.
• The plastic holder protects the rechargeable battery when not in use.
• The black plastic holder is to use 3 (1.5v) AAA batteries instead of a single #18650 (3.7v) battery with clear plastic sleeve.
• TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM RATTLING
• Andrew, there are 2 plastic battery holders, a big one for the main flashlight and a flimsy one for the 3 little batteries in the key chain flashlight. - the big plastic batter holder is where you place the rechargeable battery in it and then in the flashlight. Its kind of like a sleeve for the battery to be held properly inside the flashlight. - for the little flashlight the plastic is to keep the 3 small batteries in place. Just remove the paper disc that comes inside and button it back up. then press on and you should be good to go.
• I agree with the all these answers, but there should have been documentation explaining what it was for. I almost threw it away.
• It's for use of a provided rechargeable battery--when you use it, put it into the plastic holder and then insert both into the flashlight. It's pretty good to use, for I've always used the rechargeable battery that lasts long enough, and never used regular batteries, yet.

QUESTION: IS THIS THE SAME LIGHT AS THE G700 AND JUST SOLD UNDER DIFFERENT NAME?
• Functionally they look similar. But the G700 claims to have 700 Lumenex, the A100 claims to have 900 Lumenex.
• I have no idea if it is or isn't. Wish I could help you.
• Yes. They are for all intents and purposes, identical. Also, NEITHER of them are of the "luminescence" that they claim to be! The G700 is even a BIGGER ripoff that the A100! Check out this comparison video which features an A100; https://youtu.be/i4HNV8zCQ5s
#Outlite_A100_Review
QUESTION: HOW YOU GET KEYCHAIN FLASHLIGHT TO WORK?
• You have to put the batteries in with the little plastic casing it came with. If you just regularly put the batteries in the flashlight will just stay in and you can't turn it off. With the plastic casing around the batteries it'll function normally
• Open up the battery pack. Remove the plastic ends (be sure to keep the batteries inside the plastic sleeve) Screw the battery top back on and it should work when you click the button
• Take the small batteries out and remove the paper which is there to prevent contact, reinsert the batteries and then it will work fine.
• Remove batteries, kept them in the plastic sleeve,remove a piece inside so the positive side comes in contact with the flashlight on the inside
• It never worked! I put it into trash bin.
• hi.......there is a piece of paper or whatever the thing is between the battery and the contacts. This is there to prevent erosion or draining of the battery. Remove that piece of paper and install the battery per the directions and it will work. I had the same problem too. Hope this helps
• yup, just like previous replies, depress button on top of keychain flashlight where the little ring is and it should light up...there were no plastic casings blocking ours ... good luck. it is a handy little light.

QUESTION: IS THE ALUMINUM AIRCRAFT QUALITY?
• It is very very sturdy but the light is not as bright as I thought it would be.
• I would say yes, it is well made and very bright for a small flashlight! I am very pleased with purchase! I think you will be too!
• Yes it is. This light may cost more than other lights but the quality is very good. Feels solid and substantial in your hand.
• I'm not into making aircraft, I just guessed at it! Besides this one says its 900 lumens,the one I bought was 600 lumens.
#Outlite_A100
QUESTION: HI I JUST GOT THIS YESTERDAY AND THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHARGING FOR 24 HRS NOW BUT THE LIGHT ON CHARGER IS STILL RED WILL IT TURN GREEN WHEN CHARGED?
• Hi Johnny, my name is Vernal and I bought the same flashlight and had the same issue or concern. The answer is Yes, the light will turn green and the battery will charge but when it is completely drained, it takes forever to charge but it will charge. What I do is charge the battery ever night even if I didn't use it to keep the charge time down.
• Hey Johnny... As Vernal's intentions are good, he didn't give you a good answer. Vernal charges his every night! BAD IDEA!! If he didn't use it, it's still fully charged. Charging it again at that point will OVERCHARGE it to the point of danger!! His battery will die quickly if that is the way he handles it. The battery is only about 1200mAh. The reason it takes so long is because the charger is terribly, terribly slow. In a good charger, the battery would take only about 2 or 3 hours....from a drained state. And remember, charge the battery as soon as the light output starts to dim.
• Check the battery with a meter.Sounds like you have a dead battery or defective charger.Battery should read 3.7 to 4 volts DC
• Yes it should turn green when fully charged. Maybe try pulling the battery out and reinserting it.
#900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: WHAT KIND OF DEAD BATTERY KEYCHAIN LIGHT COME WITH?
• little round batteries and you have to use that hollow plastic tube or the battries short out I don't like it.
• 3 watch type batteries, which I am sure that they are expensive to replace. so the little flashlight is cheap and disposable once the batteries drain.... the main flashlight is pretty bright for the price. I still think that i paid too much...
• It's very bright bright for its size, takes 1 battery and is ruggedly built.
#Outlite_A100_Review
QUESTION: HOW FAR WILL IT REACH
• It will reach out as far as you need for normal usage. Not gonna light up a football field or anything 2-3 feet away. But really more than adequate for home and under the car hood usage. If you need anymore,then try searchlights. But it is good for most uses.
• I'm not exact on the measurements but it's far, I used mines about block width away at another building and it still lit up like if I was close, I lit up top of palm trees from 1/3 a block away. It's a very powerful flashlight you will not be dispointed.
• The instrument has adjustable focus. Push the lens into the body, it provides a wider beam. Pull it out, the beam becomes sharper and more focused to the point that the image projected is that of the square LED within. The light has a body that is tooled in such a way that it can be attached to tactical weapons, pistols and rifles and such. The max-focus position is so sharp and bright, it projects hundreds of feet. I don't doubt that pilots of low-and-slow flying aircraft would be greatly annoyed having this thing shined up at them. It will project itself to low-flying clouds it is so bright. The light is not to be shined into the eyes, by the way. It is painful and likely dangerously bright if shined into the eyes directly. Beware.

QUESTION: WHY DOES THE MINI-KEYCHAIN FLASHLIGHT HAVE THE ISLAMIC SYMBOL OF THE CRSCENT MOON & STAR?
• I emailed Outlite and ask them the same question and here is their answer..> Hi, > It means you can use it at night,the logo doesn't mean other > thing,sorry for disturbing you
• How am I supposed to know? Why don't you ask the guys who made it.
• Maybe that's not the symbolism at all. Maybe it symbolizes night time when it is mainly used.
#Outlite_A100
QUESTION: MY CHARGER DOES NOT WORK....LIGHT STAYS RED EVEN AFTER CHARGING OVERNIGHT....ANYONE HAD THE SAME ISSUE??
• I've had no problems with my Outlite in the few months that I've owned it.
• First of all, you don't what is causing the problem. Second of all, both these items are cheap. The battery MAY be refusing to take a charge. You have no idea what voltage the battery was when you inserted it into the charger. Because of that, the charger MAY be refusing to charge. Or it might be a charger issue in the first place. Until you replace them both, you'll never know. This is what can happen when you buy CHEAP products. Buy the good stuff in the first place and you'll HAVE no problems. The Nitecore UM20 charger is only about $15. Two Orbtronic 18650 battries will run you around $25. There... I've solved your problem!
• As you may have noted from my review, I am not particularly happy with this device, although it is not without merit. However, I have not had problems charging the battery.
• I had the same problem. It charges but the light stayed red.
• Mine works fine. Perhaps you have a defective charger, send it back they will replace it.
#900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: IS THE LED BRIGHT WHITE OR COOL WHITE?
• bright white.
• Appears to me to be bright white.
• Appears bright white.
• Similar to ALL "budget" flashlights that use a T6 LED, it leans toward cool white, but has a BLUISH hue. Anyone who says this is bright white, hasn't used a higher-quality light with a newer LED, or has one to compare it to. I DO.
• Similar to a blue white (so I would say cool white).
#Outlite_A100_Review
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE WEIGHT OF THE FLASHLIGHT WITH THE BATTERY? AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND USING THIS FOR NIGHT TIME JOGGING?
• Haven't weighed it, however, it is extremely light. Probably 4-6 ounces. I take it on walks and at night. A really great feature that is not mentioned are the 5 light settings. 1- morse code S.O.S., it flashes this code repeatedly upon the first click! 2. Brightest 3rd click, medium setting. 4th click dimmest , which is still brighter than any other flashlight I have ever had. 5th click- Eye blinding flashing strobe light. It is very intense, and I believe would hold back anyone, causing extreme discomfort- great for self defense or getting attention crossing the street. I use the morse code setting for this- less disruptive to the eye. It is extremely powerful light for its size and weight. Experimenting with it, I have lit lit up clouds, objects at over 100 yards. The adjustable width of beam is phenomenal. Reflective signs or other surfaces to 1000 feet or more. Do not shine it towards aircraft! Good luck jogging
• Very Light... sure
• It is lightweight and yes I use it for everything at night.
#Outlite_A100_900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: JUST ORDERED THIS KIT. WHAT TYPE BATTERIES FIT THE KEY CHAIN LIGHT?
• 3 LR44 button batteries, they were included in the kit. This main flashlight is extremely bright and the option of the rechargeable battery or the combo of AAA batteries is a great option also. I was very happy with this product.
• It takes LR44 button cell batteries which are included.
• Hi Dave, the batteries I'm using are three ag13.
#Outlite_A100
QUESTION: HOW FAR WILL IT REACH
• didn't know my statement was giong to be analyzed. that "square beam" will light up the house across the street. not the whole house but where ever that beam goes wayne
• On FULL beam, about 15 feet in front of you. On full ZOOM (small square) about 150 feet.
• It depends on how you focus--if your focus is small enough, the flashlight could light up to at least 50 yards or farther. On the whole, the flashlight is excellent. One time of recharging can last very long--at least two months or so, depending on how often you use it, of course. I've only used the rechargeable battery, but never used the 3 (ordinary) battery case, because the rechargeable battery is so good to use.
• If you zoom it all the way in (narrow the beam to its fullest), I'd say it will reach about 100 yards or so. Obviously if its zoomed out it won't reach nearly that far, but is bright enough to, say, light up the front of your house from the street or 25 yards or so.
• With the zoom feature at least 150 feet. We bought 2 and love them.
• i can light up the house across the street(120 ft) easily
#900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: IS THERE A BEST PRACTICE FOR CHARGING THE BATTERY? (E.G., DRAIN COMPLETELY, ETC?)
• The instructions say to fully charge before use...that is what I did.
• I believe the days of "battery memory" types...e.g. Metal Hydride rechargeables are gone... I would not discharge fully as that would mean that you learned that your battery was dead when you most needed it....
#Outlite_A100_Review
QUESTION: IS IT NORMAL THAT FLASHILIGHT GETS HOT AFTER BEING ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES?
• What level of brightness are you noticing this on? LED flashlights of all sizes will normally begin to get warm within 5 minutes of being on the highest mode. Generally it's not good to allow the light to overheat...it can harm the LED and driver. This is the reason why many, more expensive flashlights have an automatic "step-down" feature. When left on the highest mode for 3 minutes or longer, the circuit automatically drops the brightness down to the next highest level. You won't find a feature like that on a budget flashlight. It'll just run and run, getting too hot to hold. Obviously if you were to leave it in this state, permanent damage could occur.
• mine also does, so "normal" perhaps. A good thing? Likely not.
• In my experience it's normal because of the amount of power the battery is putting out. I have a few and I'm very pleased!
• Bright LEDs will get warm (or even hot) if left on for a while. This is also true of household LED bulbs for fixtures.
#Outlite_A100_900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: CAN A LITTLE BOY HOLD THE FLASHLIGHT FIRMLY?
• Yes they could.
• yes, but keep in mind the flashlight is extremely bright and children should be watched closely wile holding it.
• Depending on how little yes. I know for sure that a 5 year old can easily hold this flashlight.
• Yes
• how little? its about one inch to inch and a half thick
• Depending on the age.
#Outlite_A100
QUESTION: ION BATTERY WON'T WORK BUT FLASHLIGHT WITH 3 AAA BATTERIES WILL. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
• The included lithium battery is a joke! It's not protected and has low capacity. I suggest you buy a quality battery because there's no other reason why it wouldn't work with a lithium battery. Did you try charging it? The included charger is very very slow. Look for 18650 batteries made by Nitecore, Olight, Orbtronic or Panasonic. They need to have a protection circuit as well. Don't be afraid of the price, because cheap ones (like you got) aren't safe and don't have lasting quality. In the meantime, here is an article you will find helpful -- http://lightsngear.com/buying-cheap-rechargeable-batteries-risky/
• I fully charged my ion battery before the first use. Also look and make sure the stripes on the battery are pointed toward the bottom of the light. Other than those two things I would think a bad battery. I have bought three of these and all work great. Hope yours works out. Rick
#900_Lumens_CREE
QUESTION: CAN THIS FLASHLIGHT MOUNT ON GLOCK HANDGUNS?
• I wouldn't recommend it. If your Glock has a 3 or 4 tab picatinny rail on the bottom you'd be better off with a picatinny type light. I guess you could use this light but you'd have to purchase a light holder and it would have to be offset, even still I believe the light would be cumbersome and in the way.
• A little to bulky
#Outlite_A100_Review
QUESTION: I DID NOT RECEIVE THE 3 AAA BATTERY ADAPTOR YOU SHOW IN THE PICTURE. I'M PRETTY BUMMED AS THAT IS HOW I WANTED TO USE IT?
• I seem to recall that my battery adapter was already in the flashlight casing & had to slide out to install the 3 AAA batteries.
• You may be confused, I reviewed this light after purchasing one. Anyway, the 3 battery adapter should have come with it. I would try to contact the seller to have them send you one. If they want, I would return it to Amazon and have them send a new one.
• Yes I did receive the battery adaptor.
• That's strange as I DID receive the 'Outlite' triple A battery charger along with the mini flashlight, and of course the Main Flashlight and one rechargeable battery. I would call the customer service number to Amazon (1 888-280-3321) and let them know that you did not receive your battery adapter and I'm sure they will take care of you on you explain the mistake.

QUESTION: THE PICTURE LOOKS VERY DURABLE,CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE TRUTH?
• This flashlight is very durable and because its 900 Lumens, it's really bright.

QUESTION: I NEED TO CARRY THIS LIGHT EVERY DAY. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A POUCH OR HOLSTER THAT THIS LIGHT WOULD FIT INTO?
• Yes you will need a pouch or a small tool pouch so you can have easy access to your flash light
• The Outlite A100 is not the definition of an EDC (everyday carry) flashlight. You will have difficulty finding something that's the correct size. Nothing is specifically MADE for this light. Question; why didn't you buy a better (and smaller) light that is even brighter...AND comes with its own pocket clip AND belt holster???!! Here's a video link to a great EDC light, that does; (oh -- and the battery also charges via USB INSIDE the light!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZvhtkERoFM
• go to carbelas or gander mountain and look in the hunting section...they have it all for holsters..boot , belt, etc...you will figure it when u get there...enjoy...
• Fits right in your pocket

QUESTION: DO THE PACKAGE INCLUDED AAA BATTERY?
• No. However, the Outlite comes with a rechargeable battery. Drop the clear, plastic tube(designed to hold said battery in place) in, put the battery in, put it all together, and off you go to blind the neighbors. It DOES come with an insert for you to convert to AAA batteries as a backup should the rechargeable one die.
• It only includes the one rechargeable battery.
• No AAA batteries. The rechargeable battery and the 3 watch batteries already installed in the key chain light.
• yes battery is included.
• No
• No, but I comes with the rechargeable battery.
• NO it didn't included, but you can use AAA battery.
• Does the package include AAA batteries? No it includes a rechargeable battery and an additional case that will hold three AAA batteries which are not included.

QUESTION: HOW MANY MODES DOES IT HAVE?
• How many modes does the description SAY that it has? Three regular lighting modes, which aren't spaced much different from each other, plus strobe and SOS. It's the exact same flashlight as this one -- http://lightsngear.com/refun-a100-led-flashlight-review/
• Three. Regular light, strobe and SOS.

QUESTION: HOW DO I CHANGE THE BULB ON THE OUTLITE A100?
• Have not had to so let me know when you find out. Love flashlight
• I'm sorry mine has worked perfectly and that problem hasn't come up. If you have had yours less than a year, you may inquire about exchanging it. So far, this is a great flashlight and we are very happy with it. Much needed on the farm!
• Why would you even ask? I suggest you go to a website like Candlepower Forums. There are many members there who modify the "stock" lights they buy and replace the LED's with one of their own choice. They will give you a far better answer than anyone here...who hasn't the foggiest idea. They might laugh at you for buying this light...but once the chuckles subside, they can probably be of help. Either that or Budget Light Forums.

QUESTION: CAN THIS FLASHLIGHT BE KEPT IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER. WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT IN OUR CAR OVER THE WINTER.
• This is no different than any other flashlight when it comes to cold. Battery life will be lowered by cold temps. LED should be fine.
• The is no liquids in a standard battery to freeze

QUESTION: WHERE IS THE FLASHLIGHT MANUFACTURED?

• I think they are made in China. The charger has made in China on it.

QUESTION: WHAT PRESSURE SWITCH CAN I PUT ON THIS?
• Do not know about the pressure switch question but the problem with the free mini light staying on is simple, leave the plastic sleeve on, only exposing top and bottom, taped mine back together with Scotch tape, works perfect , (sleeve encasing batteries)
• I would assume any pressure would work but the lighter the pressure the easier it will be to turn it on accidentally
• None, due to the increase in democrats in America pressure is at an all time high and we are constantly at risk of hurting someone's feelings. Using a pressure switch is extremely risky business and we should let the government solve all of our problems in the future where any pressure may arise.

QUESTION: DO YOU PREFER THE 18650 BATTERY OR AAA BATTERY?
• The rechargeable seems fine to me....seems to hold the charge well. Just takes some 8-12 hours to recharge. Still can't beat this flashlight.
• i have used both; AAA batteries have lasted more than a year
• 18650 always
• 18650
• I only use the 18650. It is rechargeable and long lasting.
• To buy this light and use it only with AAA batteries is crazy. It's made for a rechargeable lithium battery. The only problem is, the one they supply has NO PROTECTION CIRCUIT and has the wrong capacity on the label. Protected batteries are the SAFEST to use and charge. http://lightsngear.com/buying-cheap-rechargeable-batteries-risky/

QUESTION: IS THIS FLASHLIGHT WATERPROOF OR WATER RESISTANT?
• From the description listed: "4)Water resistant, but don't put it into water " So, it's safe to assume that it's not submersible but ok in a slight mist or rain.
• Rode with it in a light rain and had no issues.

QUESTION: CAN IT STAND ON ITS END? OR DOES THE BUTTON PROTRUDE AT ALL FROM THE BOTTOM?
• Yes it can stand on its end. Button is lower than rim
• Yes
• Yes. It can
• it can stand on both ends best light ever
• It will stand on either end. The button does not protrude past the frame. The notches on the lens end allow light to escape and helps you to remember the light is on.
• yes it can ...I am looking it standing on end right now
• I have stood it on its head but not yet on its "button end". It's too small and may topple risking damaging the flashlight.
• Yes !!! you can ... and did I say .... OMG on the brightness ??? My new fav light ... : )

QUESTION: I SEE INCONSISTENCIES WITH THE SIZE DIMENSIONS LISTED FOR THIS PRODUCT. WHAT IS THE ACTUAL MEASURED LENGTH? PLEASE MEASURE YOURSELF.
• It is 5.375 = 5 3/8ths long, the body is 1 inch and the head is 1 3/8ths or 1.375 at the bulb end..
• The length of the flashlight, when it is compressed for a wide-angle beam, it is 5-3/8". When it is adjusted for a distance "spot-beam", it is 6-1/4". This is the first flashlight that I've had that adjusts beam choice this way. I carry mine compressed and I can make faster adjustments for what I may need with this configuration.
• Length is 5.38 inches to 6.50 inches at zoom extended position

QUESTION: IS IT NECESSARY TO CHARGE BATTERY PRIOR TO FIRST USE. DOES INDICATOR LIGHT TURN GREEN WHEN FULLY CHARGED?
• My battery arrived with a decent charge and worked right away. Indicator light does turn green when the battery is fully charged and it takes longer to charge it and you would expect
• yes the indicator light glows green when fully charged. i did charge mine overnight before using.
• There is a light but the only time I have seen it change color is when it is plugged in with the battery in it and off of it. Two different colors, color never changed to indicate fully charged. But it seems ready to go and full after 3 hours or so.

QUESTION: ADJUSTABLE? HOW TO ADJUST THE BEAM?
• Adjust beam, push top portion in or out !! That,sounds it.
• Pull the handle of the flash light away from the head of the light with both hands.
• You adjust the beam by simply pushing the head of the flashlight forward or pulling it back depending on what kind of focused light you need.
• By pulling out the lens end
• Pull and push the top
• Yes, slide to adjust the beam.
• Simply pull on the lower part (where the beam comes from) to adjust the beam. If you have bigger hands you could probably use your thumb but I have to use two hands. (I'm a woman by the way)
